Ah, well, that's hardly Postgres' fault is it? :) You might want
to look into other log software - there are at least two others
I know of off the top of my head (PGSI, pgbadger) that might
be better at parsing. Or submit a bug to the pgfouine folks.

- From the docs on log_duration:

"The difference between setting this option and setting
log_min_duration_statement to zero is that exceeding log_min_duration_statement
forces the text of the query to be logged, but this option doesn't. Thus, if
log_duration is on and log_min_duration_statement has a positive value, all
durations are logged but the query text is included only for statements exceeding
the threshold. This behavior can be useful for gathering statistics in
high-load installations."
